--- Comment #50 from Egbert Eich 2009-11-24 10:30:11 UTC ---
Andreas, thanks for your reports.
To summarize for myself:
Comment #42 - log for RS780 board VGA connected thru KVM, load detection
doesn't work, uses xorg.conf file.
Comment #43 - log for RS780 board VGA connected directly, load detection works,
uses xorg.conf file.
I've now implemented two load detection alogrithms - the second more intrusive
one is known to work better with KVM switches, however there may still be some
switches which behave differently.
Andreas: here is one thing you can try:
If you still have a config file, please add the line:
Option "UseAtomBIOS" "1"
to the device section and see if you get a picture when the VGA is behind a KVM
switch.
About Comment #46:
So if you boot up the box with the VGA connected correctly you get the correct
resolution (1680x1050) even if you start X *with* the KVM. Do I understand this
correctly?
About Comment #47:
kill -15 <pid> should kill the Xserver cleanly (ie it will properly close the
logs). But you should be able to terminate X using ctrl-alt-backspace (pressed
twice). If this doesn't work xkb isn't initialized - which doesn't seem to be
the case looking at the log file.
Andreas, this bug already contains a lot of information and is therefore
difficult to handle. Please let us concentrate on the questions I've raised in
this comment and deal with why 1680x1050 is working in some situations later.
